Rexburg summer

By -
Greetings, this has been an eventful summer.  Katie is 39 weeks pregnant and counting.  Jeff is working hard and enjoying a good break in between classes.  We both fall asleep each night wondering if we'll wake up to a delivery.  It hasn't happened yet...so here is what we've been up to in our time of waiting.  


The first day of summer was the Credit Union's annual picnic.  It seemed the whole community came out.  Jeff was assigned to the fish scramble.  This is a really fun event where kids enter a makeshift pond with 50+ fish to try and catch one.  Jeff was there to herd and help



Distributing drinks wasn't nearly as cool...




After words Jeff helped take down the pond.  Does this look Idahoan or what?


                            

Then one of the best parts was all the leftover chocolate milk...we willingly took it off their hands


                                        

Next one of Jeff's good friends from Arizona, Tyrel Hansen, came up to visit!  They had a blast together in the morning.  Can you guess where they are in this picture???



                                            

Lets look out a little farther...


                                      

Eh eh??.... alright last shot


                                      

They hiked "R" mountain. This is the Rexburg equivalent of hiking the "Y" in Provo.  Here is Ty in front of the sign going up.  All thumbs up!

                          

Here is a nice view about half way up. This was a good chance to catch up, nothing like good friends!


                          
As we continue to get ready for baby, our office has begun to transform into a nursery!  Jeff built the crib the other night, and Katie put some of the blankets we have in it.  

                                  

Here is the final product. 


                        

Lastly this is a classic moment in the late stages of pregnancy.



We also went to Lava Hot Springs this last weekend with Val and Merilee, it was a lot of fun and great to be with family.  Well hopefully by next post we will have a cute little girl in that crib!

Our little Lana Faith turned 1 on June 11th. We celebrated in two waves. The first was with rice krispy treats and a few gifts on the actual day. The second was with cake, ice cream, and grandpas and grandmas that weekend. Both were very fun and made her first birthday a special one. Here are some pictures of our sweet girl and her birthday fun. June 11th: Look mom, no hands! The rice krispy treats were made with strawberry marshmallows. Lana  loved them. She kept saying "mmm" and signing "more, more!" She got a sweet doll from Uncle Reese and Aunt Tammy, and a water table from mom and dad!  The weekend bash: Time to open presents! We'll start with a neat toy boat from Aunt Lexie! Hooray for new books! and some cute clothes from the Coopers And a fun puzzle and nice new outfit from Grandpa and Grandma Averett Kayley was more than happy to help show Lana how to make the best use of her gifts :) Thanks everyone! ...

Halloween is long over; Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's have all come and gone. Yes, it's a little random to be posting about pumpkins in January, but somehow we missed posting our annual pumpkin carvings  when we did our Halloween post. Better late then never, so here you go :) Katie's pumpkin:  Belle Silhouette Jeff's pumpkin: Rapunzel (Tangled)  Since Jeff's pattern was a little more complex this year, we used transfer paper to copy the design to our pumpkins instead of poking holes We love how they turned out! The Coopers came down to join us again this year. Charity and Christian both did pumpkins. In honor of this year's school play, Charity did Les Mis (We don't have a finished picture because she had to take it home and finish it, but it turned out awesome! Way to go Charity!)  Christian did Link from Zelda. It was a challenging pumpkin, and he did a great job. Now back to January. We are doing great. Lana is gett...

Happy Halloween!

We had a really fun Halloween this year. Kayley was Winnie-the-Pooh and Lana was Piglet. Jeff's work had a family trick-or-treat at the office the Friday before Halloween. Everyone's kids got to dress up and walk around to all the offices/cubicles and get candy. It was a lot of fun! The next day, we had our ward Halloween party. The girls got dressed up again, this time for a trunk-or-treat. (We had some cute pictures from this night, but they accidentally got deleted off our camera). Needless to say, by the time Halloween day rolled around, we'd had enough trick-or-treating and plenty of candy, so we all stayed home to hand treats out to the neighborhood kids. Kayley loved  it. When someone would knock, or ring the doorbell, she would yell "The boys and girls are here!" and run to the front door. Even though they weren't in costume, the girls were decked out in Halloween outfits, and Katie got into the "dressing up" spirit with pig-tails...
